Psalm 99: Mighty King

Twin themes emerge from Psalm 99: God is king, and He is mighty.  The psalm even begins, "The Lord is king; let the peoples tremble!  He sits enthroned among the cherubim; let the earth quake!"  From there, we continue to hear both of God's great and awesome name, as well as His royal reign over His people Israel.  Both acts of power and justice are recounted as emblematic of the Lord's nature.  The psalm concludes with the imperative, "Extol the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain; for the Lord our God is holy" (vs. 9).
